Grant's 1 year pictures

Grant was a stinker during his little photo shoot. He was happy as could be to just sit and play with whatever we gave him. But there was no way he was going to let a smile sneak out. Hailey (the awesome photographer) was so patient and tried every trick to get him to smile, I tried everything to get him to smile....NOTHING! As a final attempt to get a smile from this kid we called in the big guns. Literally...we called Dad! Grant loves talking to his Dad on the phone. I called and put him on speaker phone so Grant could hear. The instant Grant heard his Daddy say "What ya doing monster?" all the smiles came bursting out! So all the super cute shots we got with smiles are thanks to Dad!

                           We almost got a smile here

Some of these I couldn't decide which I liked better, black or white...so you get both!

Here is where the phone call started! HELLO SMILEY BOY!

He loved this wagon...even after he fell out of it haha!

Happy Birthday Grant!

January 3rd we celebrated Grants 1st birthday! I cant believe my baby is one!. What an amazing year it has been! Grant is growing to be such a fun sweet little boy! He is not walking yet but loves trying to walk between mom and dad. He still hasn't mastered the skill of sleeping through the night ( the stinker!) but we are getting better slowly at that as well. One of the many funny talents grant has is he is learning to whistle. Every morning when Hank leaves for work he walks outside and whistles for the dogs to come. We usually always watch from the door and so he hears his dad make that sounds....then the dogs come. So now he tries to whistle all the time.

I feel like this year flew by!

We have had so much fun this past year! We feel so blessed to have Grant in our family!

Grant's new do

I finally gave in and gave Grant his first haircut. 

It was past time for a haircut. His mohawk had turned more into a shark fin

My handsome little man

6 months!

A few weeks back Grant and I had a little photo shoot. I can't believe my baby boy is 6 months old! The past 6 months have been the most amazing months of my life! This little guy has completely  changed my life.

 I just love him to pieces!  

Summer fun

Picture overload.

        Summer adventures......

Grant went to his first roping and got to ride with Dad for the first time. I think he enjoyed himself.

Seriously!!!! That smile!

Aunt Sheryl out for a ride

Tractor drivin at Grandma Koyle's house.  

Hanks little borther got married in May. So since we were all cleaned up i thought we'd snap some family pictures.......man its hard work to get a decent picture of all three of us. About 15 pictures and this is as good as we got

Road trip-in it to visit Aunt Tosha with cousin Zio in the back!

We went and visites my sister Tosha and saw her new house. Aunt Gentry getting creative to keep Grant happy 

Swathing hay with Dad. 

Farmer in the making

My big cousin family reunion we went to Indian Hot Springs. Grant absolutely loves the water. He plays so hard till he just has to crash.

2nd pool nap

Pooped out!

Happy half a decade anniversary!

The last week in March we were about to take our anniversary trip to Boise. This was our first trip with a baby and overall it went great! I thought we did such a good job at getting everything we needed packed....and we DID get everything we needed packed. Just not everything we packed packed into the car. Of everything to forget we left Grants bag sitting beside his crib. So Grant got to go on a mini shopping spree to get him set for the weekend. 

Of course you can't go to Boise and not go into Cabela's. 

The face I always get when I take out my camera. Cant you tell he loves me taking his picture ;)

The hat i packed in the diaper bag was still a wee bit on the big side. But it did the job. ha ha

Grant is a little fishy baby! He LOVED the pool!

Love my Family

Hard to believe its been 5 years already!  So much has happened in 5 years. I have felt such amazing joy through the years and some heartaches, but along the way I couldn't imagine a better man to have by my side to share it all with!

Grant's big day

 February 22  Hank blessed our sweet little Grant. Grant and I are so lucky to have a husband and daddy who is able to hold the priesthood. That morning Hank got up and went to fees cows. A little bit later I started getting Grant in his little white outfit ....trying to time everything just right to make sure we would have a happy baby. So come 10:30 he was fed, fresh diaper (praying for no blowouts), and I was getting him in his car seat in hopes he would sleep for the next hour and a half.....and guess what!...he did! Hank and I both feared he would scream through the whole thing, but Grant was in a special sweet mood that day and we were so proud.   It was such a wonderful day. Big thank you to both our families that traveled to share that special day with us.
